As someone who is mostly housebound, playing a game which is mainly set outdoors in nature is just wonderful. Playing as my character, I can walk/run around enjoying my flowers and trees, do my jobs, chat to my animal friends, pick my fruit, go swimming and hang out with my actual friends ~ all things my health doesn't allow me to do in real life on a daily basis. I basically live vicariously through my little character!

With everything going on, I did struggle to know how to even start this piece and what I could even say. I don’t want it to seem like I’m ignoring everything going on but right at the start I said I wanted this to be a safe place for both my readers and for myself. A place to read about other things or to find comfort if you live a life with chronic illness
